Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford-1955.
I remember this song from when I was small.
Some of these young woke people who have their thousand dollar iPhone but own no home or even a car could benefit by learning the lyrics of “16 Tons.”
Thanks--that is very helpful.
Lyrics to 16 Tons:
Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man’s made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that’s a-weak and a back that’s strong
You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin’ when the sun didn’t shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded 16 tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said, “Well, a-bless my soul”
You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin’, it was drizzlin’ rain
Fightin’ and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol’ mama lion
Can’t no high toned woman make me walk the line
You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
If you see me comin’, better step aside
A lotta men didn’t, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don’t get you
Then the left one will
You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store

Is Putin’s Invasion Failing Because Russian Intelligence Embezzled Billions Intended As Bribes For Ukrainians?

Russia does not know how to stop. Ukraine does not who will stop. US does not know why to stop. China does not know when to stop. India does not know where to intervene.
No gas for you then!

FRANCE’S MACRON TOLD PUTIN THAT PAYING GAS CONTRACTS IN ROUBLES WAS NOT POSSIBLE - FRENCH PRESIDENCY OFFICIAL
I am not sure that today’s young woke people even know how to use a shovel. The really ridiculous ones are those in the “white privilege” group. They are doing everything they can to ruin life for themselves.

It turns out that a lot of teachers have been sexually grooming children behind closed doors for many years... and a lot of parents recently noticed.
And some people are mad they noticed. 😬
My van was stolen Thursday my van was my home. It's a total loss. Everything I owned was in it. You will not believe the incredible nightmare this has been. I'll get you more information when I have it right now there are hundreds of?'s and hundreds of things to try to do.
Working with the sheriff's detective has been good. Working with banks insurance companies and everything else has been awful.
Van has been confiscated And in a towing lot in Winston Salem.
Young black man ran a red light and crashed. it was very seriously damaged. it is not drivable. My Ohio plates removed. It had North Carolina car dealership plates on dated 2004.
[I] don’t know much more at this point. They are going to try to locate the man and arrest him.
My number was not put into the national search area because whoever Internet forgot one digit and so it wasn’t accepted. Wo somebody screwed up and made it a longer time.
The forensic fingerprinting will help determine who was in the van.
72 year old black career criminal warrant out. I know He didn’t steal it, but hopefully he can sing like a canary 'n give names. Fingerprinting Will support.
I just got my phone actually this morning. It’s a replacement for the one stolen and I am up to my eyeballs and Social Security, Medicare, the detective, State Farm [and] a zillion other things. When I tried to get into Free Republic I couldn’t. I have to search out my password. Just let everyone know I said hi and tell them [my sad] story. Unfortunately, insurance does not cover the contents of the van which the contents were seven times the vehicle the perks. Apparently, [they] threw out everything after they sold the computers, guns, the cameras, and the jewelry.

Yale Law School Dean: “This behavior was unacceptable. This is an institution of higher learning, not a town square … YLS is a professional school, and this is not how lawyers interact.” 👏

Oh,no.
I am having fun calling my other Senator.
Told girl I was filling out a form and it asks what pronoun I am.
Told her I am totally confused, as now I do not even know if I am a woman and maybe the Senator could help me.
She asked me if is their form.
LOL
Told her we do not want a judge just because she is black or a woman and now one who loves pedophiles.
She hung up on me.
Oh no, pray things will go more smoothly for you Dolly.
I cannot imagine the mess.
Prayers offered.
Oh, no….so sorry to hear this.
Prayers up 🙏🏻🙏🏻💞
